RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/618,131, filed Mar. 30, 2012, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/790,579, filed Mar. 15, 2013. The entire contents of these applications are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

TECHNICAL FIELD

This disclosure is directed to β-lactamase inhibitors (BLIs) which are effective as inhibitors of β-lactamases and, when used in combination with β-lactam antibiotics are useful in the treatment of bacterial infections. The compounds when combined with a β-lactam antibiotic are effective in treating infections caused by bacteria that are resistant to β-lactam antibiotics due to the presence of β-lactamases. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, methods of using such compounds, and processes for preparing such compounds are also disclosed.

BACKGROUND

Bacterial resistance to β-lactam antibiotics, especially in Gram-negative bacteria, is most commonly mediated by β-lactamases. β-lactamases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the β-lactam ring, which inactivates the antibacterial activity of the β-lactam antibiotic and allows the bacteria to become resistant Inhibition of the β-lactamase with a BLI slows or prevents degradation of the β-lactam antibiotic and restores β-lactam antibiotic susceptibility to β-lactamase producing bacteria. Many of these β-lactamases are not effectively inhibited by BLIs currently on the market rendering the β-lactam antibiotics ineffective in treating bacteria that produce these β-lactamases. There is an urgent need for novel BLIs that inhibit β-lactamases that are not effectively inhibited by the current clinical BLIs (e.g. KPC, class C and class D β-lactamases) and that could be used in combination with β-lactam antibiotics to treat infections caused by β-lactam resistant bacteria.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Definitions

Molecular terms, when used in this application, have their common meaning unless otherwise specified.

The term “alkyl” is defined as a linear or branched, saturated radical having one to about twenty carbon atoms unless otherwise specified. Preferred alkyl radicals are “lower alkyl” radicals having one to about five carbon atoms. Examples of alkyl groups include, without limitation, methyl, ethyl, tert-butyl, isopropyl, and hexyl. A subset of the term alkyl is “(C₁-C₃)-unsubstituted alkyl” which is defined as an alkyl group that bears no substituent groups. Examples of (C₁-C₃)-unsubstituted alkyl groups include methyl, ethyl, propyl and isopropyl. It is understood that if a (C₁-C₃)-alkyl is “substituted” that one or more hydrogen atoms is replaced by a substitutent.

The term amino denotes a NH₂ radical.

The term “aminoalkyl” denotes an alkyl in which one or more of the alkyl hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an amino group.

The term “aminocycloalkyl” denotes a cycloalkyl in which one of the cycloalkyl hydrogen atoms has been replaced by an amino group.

The term “cycloalkyl” or “cycloalkyl ring” is defined as a saturated or partially unsaturated carbocyclic ring in a single or fused carbocyclic ring system having from three to twelve ring members. In a preferred embodiment, a cycloalkyl is a ring system having three to seven ring members. Examples of a cycloalkyl group include, without limitation, cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclohexyl, and cycloheptyl.

The term “hydroxyalkyl” denotes an alkyl radical in which one or more of the alkyl hydrogen atoms has been replaced by a hydroxyl group.

It will be understood by one of skill in the art that a

denote the point of attachment of a substituent group where indicated. For example

represent that the point of attachment of the amide moiety is at the carbonyl carbon.

The functional classification of β-lactamases and terms “Class A”, “Class C”, and “Class D” β-lactamases are understood by one of skill in the art and are described in “Updated Functinal Classification of β-Lactamases”, Bush, K.; Jacoby, G. A.; Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 2010, 54, 969-976, herein incorporated by reference.

The salts of the compounds of the invention include acid addition salts and base addition salts. In a one embodiment, the salt is a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the compound of Formula I. The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salts” embraces salts commonly used to form alkali metal salts and to form addition salts of free acids or free bases. The nature of the salt is not critical, provided that it is pharmaceutically-acceptable. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts of the compounds of the invention may be prepared from an inorganic acid or an organic acid. Examples of such inorganic acids include, without limitation, hydrochloric, hydrobromic, hydroiodic, nitric, carbonic, sulfuric and phosphoric acid. Examples of appropriate organic acids may be selected from aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aromatic, arylaliphatic, heterocyclic, carboxylic and sulfonic classes of organic acids, examples of which include, without limitation, formic, acetic, propionic, succinic, glycolic, gluconic, maleic, embonic (pamoic), methanesulfonic, ethanesulfonic, 2-hydroxyethanesulfonic, pantothenic, benzenesulfonic, toluenesulfonic, sulfanilic, mesylic, cyclohexylaminosulfonic, stearic, algenic, β-hydroxybutyric, malonic, galactic, and galacturonic acid. Suitable pharmaceutically-acceptable base addition salts of compounds of the invention include, but are not limited to, metallic salts made from aluminum, calcium, lithium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc or organic salts made from N,N′-dibenzylethylenediamine, chloroprocaine, choline, diethanolamine, ethylenediamine, N-methylglucamine, lysine and procaine. All of these salts may be prepared by conventional means from the corresponding compound of the invention by treating, for example, the compound of the invention with the appropriate acid or base.

The compounds of the invention can possess one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and are thus capable of existing in the form of optical isomers as well as in the form of racemic or non-racemic mixtures thereof. The compounds of the invention can be utilized in the present invention as a single isomer or as a mixture of stereochemical isomeric forms. Diastereoisomers, i.e., nonsuperimposable stereochemical isomers, can be separated by conventional means such as chromatography, distillation, crystallization or sublimation. The optical isomers can be obtained by resolution of the racemic mixtures according to conventional processes, for example by formation of diastereoisomeric salts by treatment with an optically active acid or base. Examples of appropriate acids include, without limitation, tartaric, diacetyltartaric, dibenzoyltartaric, ditoluoyltartaric and camphorsulfonic acid. The mixture of diastereomers can be separated by crystallization followed by liberation of the optically active bases from the optically active salts. An alternative process for separation of optical isomers includes the use of a chiral chromatography column optimally chosen to maximize the separation of the enantiomers. Still another available method involves synthesis of covalent diastereoisomeric molecules by treating compounds of the invention with an optically pure acid in an activated form or an optically pure isocyanate. The synthesized diastereoisomers can be separated by conventional means such as chromatography, distillation, crystallization or sublimation, and then hydrolyzed to obtain the enantiomerically pure compound. The optically active compounds of the invention can likewise be obtained by utilizing optically active starting materials. These isomers may be in the form of a free acid, a free base, an ester or a salt.

Compounds described herein also include isotopically-labeled compounds wherein one or more atoms is replaced by an atom having the same atomic number, but an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature. Examples of isotopes suitable for inclusion in the compounds described herein include and are not limited to ²H, ³H, ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ³⁶Cl, ¹⁸F, ¹²³I, ¹²⁵I, ¹³N, ¹⁵N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ³²P, and ³⁵S. In one embodiment, isotopically-labeled compounds are useful in drug and/or substrate tissue distribution studies. In another embodiment, substitution with heavier isotopes such as deuterium affords greater metabolic stability (for example, increased in vivo half-life or reduced dosage requirements). In yet another embodiment, substitution with positron emitting isotopes, such as ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹⁵O and ¹³N, is useful in Positron Emission Topography (PET) studies for examining substrate receptor occupancy. Isotopically-labeled compounds are prepared by any suitable method or by processes using an appropriate isotopically-labeled reagent in place of the non-labeled reagent otherwise employed.

The invention also embraces isolated compounds. An isolated compound refers to a compound which represents at least 10%, such as at least 20%, such as at least 50% and further such as at least 80% of the compound present in the mixture. In one embodiment, the compound, a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, or a pharmaceutical composition comprising the compound exhibits detectable (i.e. statistically significant) activity when tested in conventional biological assays such as those described herein.

In one aspect of the invention, the compounds of Formula A-II inhibit KPC-2 or KPC-3 β-lactamases in clinical strains (FIG. 2, Table II and FIGS. 6-9, Tables VI-IX). Class C β-lactamases for example, include, but are not limited to chromosomal AmpCs, and plasmid based ACC, DHA, CMY, FOX, ACT, MIR, LAT, MOX β-lactamases. Class D β-lactamase enzymes, for example, include, but are not limited to oxacillinases or OXA β-lactamases. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) inhibit OXA-15 β-lactamases. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the compounds of Formula I inhibit OXA-15 β-lactamases. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the compounds of Formula A-I inhibit OXA-15 β-lactamases. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the compounds of Formula II inhibit OXA-15 β-lactamases. In a preferred aspect of the invention, the compounds of Formula A-II inhibit OXA-15 β-lactamases.

Unless otherwise indicated, the activity of the BLI compounds can be described by the MIC value obtained from a Synergy MIC assay or a BLI potentiation assay (e.g as described herein), both of which are run in the presence of a β-lactam. The lower the sMIC or MIC value the more active the BLI, regardless of the mechanism of action of the BLI compound (e.g., including inhibition of β-lactamases by the BLI or any other mechanism of action or combination of mechanisms of action). The sMIC and BLI potentiation assay data supports that the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) potentiate (i.e. make more potent) the activity of the β-lactam antibiotic against β-lactamase producing strains by inhibiting the β-lactamase.

In one embodiment, the BLI activity is measured by growth inhibition of a β-lactamase producing bacterial strains in a Synergy MIC (sMIC) assay. Preferably, the sMIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 8 μg/mL or less. In a more preferred aspect of the invention, the sMIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 4 μg/mL to 8 μg/mL. In an even more preferred aspect of the invention, the sMIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 1 to 2 μg/mL. In a still more preferred aspect of the invention, the sMIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 0.2 to 0.5 μg/mL. Synergy MICs for representative compounds of the invention are described in Table III (See FIG. 3). It will be understood by one of skill in the art that the growth inhibition of β-lactamase producing strains can also be measured by a checkerboard synergy assay like that disclosed in International Patent Application Number WO 2008/039420 or a standard BLI potentiation assay using a fixed concentration of BLI.

In one embodiment, the BLI activity is measured by growth inhibition of a β-lactamase producing bacterial strains in a standard BLI potentiation assay using a fixed concentration of BLI. Preferably, the MIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 8 μg/mL or less. In a more preferred aspect of the invention, the MIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 4 to 8 μg/mL. In an even more preferred aspect of the invention, the MIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 1 to 2 μg/mL. In a still more preferred aspect of the invention, the MIC value for the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) is 0.2 μg/mL to 0.5 μg/mL.

The compounds of the present invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) have a broad spectrum of activity across a wide variety of β-lactamase producing bacteria. It was surprisingly found that the compounds of the present invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) are active in potentiating activity of β-lactam antibiotics, in particular, Ceftolozane, against strains expressing class D β-lactamase OXA-15 β-lactamase. Currently marketed BLIs inhibit most of the class A β-lactamases, but poorly inhibit class A KPC β-lactamases and class C β-lactamases and have variable success in inhibiting penicillinase and carbapenemase-type class D β-lactamases. The compounds of the present invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) are active against a wide variety of bacterial strains that express class A and C β-lactamases and also, surprisingly are active against bacterial strains that express the class D cephalosporinase OXA-15 (Tables II and III). This increased activity against the class D β-lactamase is critical because differential effectiveness against different types of β-lactamase producing bacteria is necessary in order to effectively use β-lactam antibiotics to treat resistant strains of bacteria (vide infra).

In one embodiment, the compounds the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) are unexpectedly more active against bacterial strains that express OXA-15 β-lactamases than the most structurally similar compound, Avibactam (comparator compound CCC).

Compounds that are more active than Avibactam against bacterial strains that express the class D cephalosporinase OXA-15 are, for example, compounds 701, 702, 703, 704, 705, 706, 707, 708, 709, 710, 711, 712, 713, 714, 715, 716, 717, 719, 720, 721, 722, 723, 724, 725, 726, 727, 728, 729, 730, 731, 732, 733, 734, 735, 736, 737, 738, 739, 740, 741, 742, 743, 744, 745, 746, 747, 748, 749, 750, 751, 752, 753, 754, 755, 756, 757, 758, 759, 760, 761, 762, 763, 764, 765, 766, 767, 768, 769, 770, 771, 772, 773, 774, 776, 777, 778, 779, 780, 781, 782, 783, 784, 792, 794, 795 and 797.

In one embodiment, the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) are unexpectedly more active against and/or show broader spectrum of activity against bacterial strains that express KPC β-lactamases than the most structurally similar compound, Avibactam. Compounds that are more active than Avibactam for at least one, bacterial strain that expresses KPC β-lactamase and/or show a better spectrum of activity against bacterial strains that express KPC β-lactamases than Avibactam are, for example, compounds 701, 702, 703, 705, 706, 708, 709, 710, 711, 712714, 720, 721, 722, 723, 724, 726, 727, 728, 729, 730, 731, 732, 734, 735, 736, 737, 738, 739, 740, 741, 742, 743, 744, 745, 746, 747, 749, 750, 751, 752, 753, 754, 755, 756, 758, 759, 760, 761, 762, 763, 764, 765, 766, 767, 768, 770, 771, 772, 774, 775, 776, 777, 779, 782, 783, 784, 786, 794, and 795.

In another aspect of the invention, the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) have high binding affinity for the β-lactamase enzyme. Consequently these compounds are better inhibitors of the β-lactamase enzyme. The inhibition kinetics of the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) was measured according to the procedure outlined in Example 102. The compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) have a high binding affinity for the β-lactamase enzyme.

In one embodiment the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) have a binding affinity of 1000-5000 mM¹ s⁻¹.

In one embodiment the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) have a binding affinity of 100-999 mM¹ s⁻¹. Compounds that have a binding affinity of 100-999 mM¹ s⁻¹ are, for example, compounds 701, 702, 703, 705, 706, 707, 709, 711, 712, 713, 714, 720, 730, 740, 741, 742, 743, 745, 746, 748, 749, 752, 753, 767, 770, 775, 779, 781, 782, 785, 794, 798 (Table IV).

In one embodiment the compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) have a binding affinity of 1-99 mM¹ s⁻¹. Compounds that have a binding affinity of 1-99 mM¹ s⁻¹ are, for example, compounds 704, 706, 708, 710, 715, 716, 717, 718, 719, 721, 722, 723, 724, 725, 726, 727, 728, 729, 731, 732, 733, 734, 735, 736, 737, 738, 739, 744, 747, 750, 751, 754, 755, 756, 757, 758, 759, 760, 761, 762, 763, 764, 765, 766, 769, 771, 772, 773, 774, 776, 777, 778, 780, 783, 784, 786, 792, 796, and 797 (Table IV).

It was surprisingly found that the compounds of the present invention have a higher binding affinity for the β-lactamase enzyme than the closest structural comparator Avibactam (Table IV, See FIG. 4).

The compounds of the invention were also shown to be better BLIs than other comparator compounds as shown in FIG. 5.

As used herein, the phrase “pharmaceutically-acceptable carrier” refers to any and all solvents, dispersion media, coatings, antibacterial and antifungal agents, isotonic and absorption delaying agents, and the like, that are compatible with pharmaceutical administration. The use of such media and agents for pharmaceutically active substances is well known in the art. Non-limiting examples of carriers and excipients include corn starch or gelatin, lactose, sucrose, microcrystalline cellulose, kaolin, mannitol, dicalcium phosphate, sodium chloride and alginic acid. The compositions may contain croscarmellose sodium, microcrystalline cellulose, corn starch, sodium starch glycolate and alginic acid.

Lubricants that can be used include magnesium stearate or other metallic stearates, stearic acid, silicone fluid, talc, waxes, oils and colloidal silica.

Flavoring agents such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, cherry flavoring or the like can also be used. It may also be desirable to add a coloring agent to make the dosage form more aesthetic in appearance or to help identify the product.

For oral or parenteral administration, compounds of the present invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II, in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, can be mixed with conventional pharmaceutical carriers and excipients and used in the form of tablets, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers and the like. The compositions comprising a compound of this invention may contain from about 0.1% to about 99% by weight of the active compound, such as from about 10% to about 30%.

For oral use, solid formulations such as tablets and capsules are useful. Sustained release or enterically coated preparations may also be devised. For pediatric and geriatric applications, one embodiment provides suspensions, syrups and chewable tablets. For oral administration, the pharmaceutical compositions are in the form of, for example, a tablet, capsule, suspension or liquid.

The pharmaceutical compositions may be made in the form of a dosage unit containing a therapeutically-effective amount of the active ingredient. Examples of such dosage units are tablets and capsules. For therapeutic purposes, the tablets and capsules which can contain, in addition to the active ingredient, conventional carriers such as binding agents, for example, acacia gum, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sorbitol, or tragacanth; fillers, for example, calcium phosphate, glycine, lactose, maize-starch, sorbitol, or sucrose; lubricants, for example, magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, silica, or talc; disintegrants, for example, potato starch, flavoring or coloring agents, or acceptable wetting agents. Oral liquid preparations generally are in the form of aqueous or oily solutions, suspensions, emulsions, syrups or elixirs, preparations of the invention may contain conventional additives such as suspending agents, emulsifying agents, non-aqueous agents, preservatives, coloring agents and flavoring agents. Non-limiting examples of additives for liquid preparations include acacia, almond oil, ethyl alcohol, fractionated coconut oil, gelatin, glucose syrup, glycerin, hydrogenated edible fats, lecithin, methyl cellulose, methyl or propyl para-hydroxybenzoate, propylene glycol, sorbitol, or sorbic acid.

For intravenous (IV) use, the pharmaceutical composition (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II, in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, can be dissolved or suspended in any of the commonly used intravenous fluids and administered by infusion. Intravenous fluids include, without limitation, physiological saline or Ringer's solution. Intravenous administration may be accomplished by using, without limitation, syringe, mini-pump or intravenous line.

Pharmaceutical compositions of this invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II, for parenteral injection comprise pharmaceutically-acceptable aqueous or non-aqueous solutions, dispersions, suspensions or emulsions as well as sterile powders for reconstitution into sterile injectable solutions or dispersions just prior to use. Examples of suitable aqueous and non-aqueous carriers, diluents, solvents or vehicles include water, ethanol, benzyl alcohol, polyols (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol), and suitable mixtures thereof, vegetable oils (such as corn oil or olive oil), and injectable organic esters such as ethyl oleate. Proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of coating materials such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions, and by the use of surfactants. The compositions can include various buffers.

These compositions may also contain adjuvants such as preservatives, wetting agents, emulsifying agents, and dispersing agents. They may also contain taggants or other anti-counterfeiting agents, which are well known in the art. Prevention of the action of microorganisms may be ensured by the inclusion of various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, paraben, chlorobutanol, and phenol sorbic acid. It may also be desirable to include isotonic agents such as sugars and sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable pharmaceutical form may be brought about by the inclusion of agents which delay absorption, such as aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

Injectable depot forms can be made by forming microencapsulating matrices of the drug in biodegradable polymers such as polylactide-polyglycolide. Depending upon the ratio of drug to polymer and the nature of the particular polymer employed, the rate of drug release can be controlled. Examples of other biodegradable polymers include poly(orthoesters) and poly(anhydrides). Depot injectable formulations can also be prepared by entrapping the drug in liposomes or microemulsions, which are compatible with body tissues.

The injectable formulations can be sterilized, for example, by filtration through a bacterial-retaining filter, or by incorporating sterilizing agents in the form of sterile solid compositions, which can be dissolved or dispersed in sterile water or other sterile injectable medium just prior to use.

Solid dosage forms for oral administration include capsules, tablets, pills, powders, and granules. Such forms may include forms that dissolve or disintegrate quickly in the oral environment. In such solid dosage forms, the active compound preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, can be mixed with at least one inert, pharmaceutically-acceptable excipient or carrier. Suitable excipients include, for example, (a) fillers or extenders such as starches, lactose, sucrose, glucose, mannitol, and silicic acid; (b) binders such as cellulose and cellulose derivatives (such as hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, and carboxymethylcellulose), alginates, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, sucrose, and acacia; (c) humectants such as glycerol; (d) disintegrating agents such as sodium starch glycolate, croscarmellose, agar-agar, calcium carbonate, potato or tapioca starch, alginic acid, certain silicates, and sodium carbonate; (e) solution retarding agents such as paraffin; (f) absorption accelerators such as quaternary ammonium compounds; (g) wetting agents, such as cetyl alcohol and glycerol monostearate, fatty acid esters of sorbitan, poloxamers, and polyethylene glycols; (h) absorbents such as kaolin and bentonite clay; (i) lubricants such as talc, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, solid polyethylene glycols, sodium lauryl sulfate, and mixtures thereof; and (j) glidants such as talc, and silicone dioxide. Other suitable excipients include, for example, sodium citrate or dicalcium phosphate. The dosage forms may also comprise buffering agents.

Solid dosage forms, including those of tablets, dragees, capsules, pills, and granules, can be prepared with coatings and shells such as functional and aesthetic enteric coatings and other coatings well known in the pharmaceutical formulating art. They may optionally contain opacifying agents and colorants. They may also be in a form capable of controlled or sustained release. Examples of embedding compositions that can be used for such purposes include polymeric substances and waxes.

The pharmaceutical compositions can be delivered using controlled (e.g., capsules) or sustained release (e.g., bioerodable matrices) delivery systems. Exemplary delayed release delivery systems for drug delivery that are suitable for administering the pharmaceutical compositions are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,452,775 (issued to Kent), U.S. Pat. No. 5,039,660 (issued to Leonard), and U.S. Pat. No. 3,854,480 (issued to Zaffaroni).

In some cases, in order to prolong the effect of the drug, it may be desirable to slow the absorption of the drug following subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. This may be accomplished by the use of a liquid suspension of crystalline or amorphous material with poor water solubility. Amorphous material may be used alone or together with stabilizers as necessary. The rate of absorption of the drug then depends upon its rate of dissolution, which in turn, may depend upon crystal size and crystalline form.

Alternatively, delayed absorption of a parenterally administered drug form can be accomplished by dissolving or suspending the drug in an oil vehicle.

For intramuscular preparations, a sterile formulation of compounds, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, or suitable soluble salt forms thereof, for example hydrochloride salts, can be dissolved and administered in a pharmaceutical diluent such as Water-for-Injection (WFI), physiological saline or 5% glucose. A suitable insoluble form of the compound may be prepared and administered as a suspension in an aqueous base or a pharmaceutically acceptable oil base, e.g., an ester of a long chain fatty acid such as ethyl oleate.

A dose of an intravenous, intramuscular, or parental formulation of compounds, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, may be administered as a bolus or by slow infusion. A bolus is a dose that is administered in less than 30 minutes. In one embodiment, a bolus is administered in less than 15 or less than 10 minutes. In another embodiment, a bolus is administered in less than 5 minutes. In yet another embodiment, a bolus is administered in one minute or less. An infusion is a dose that is administered at a rate of 30 minutes or greater. In one embodiment, the infusion is one hour or greater. In another embodiment, the infusion is substantially constant.

For topical use the pharmaceutical compositions, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, can also be prepared in suitable forms to be applied to the skin, or mucus membranes of the nose and throat, and can take the form of creams, ointments, liquid sprays or inhalants, lozenges, or throat paints. Such topical formulations further can include chemical compounds such as dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) to facilitate surface penetration of the active ingredient.

For application to the eyes or ears, the pharmaceutical composition can be presented in liquid or semi-liquid form formulated in hydrophobic or hydrophilic bases as ointments, creams, lotions, paints or powders.

For rectal administration, the pharmaceutical compositions, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, can be administered in the form of suppositories admixed with conventional carriers such as cocoa butter, polyethylene glycol or a suppository wax or other glyceride that are solid at room temperature but liquid at body temperature and therefore melt in the rectum or vaginal cavity and release the active compound.

Alternatively, the pharmaceutical compositions can be in powder form for reconstitution in the appropriate pharmaceutically acceptable carrier at the time of delivery. In another embodiment, the unit dosage form of compounds, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, can be a solution of one or more compounds, or salts thereof, in a suitable diluent, in sterile hermetically sealed ampoules or sterile syringes. The concentration of the compounds, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, in the unit dosage may vary, e.g. from about 1 percent to about 50 percent, depending on the compound used and its solubility and the dose desired by the physician. If the compositions contain dosage units, each dosage unit can contain from 1-500 mg of the active material. For adult human treatment, the dosage employed can range from 5 mg to 10 g, per day, depending on the route and frequency of administration.

The pharmaceutical compositions disclosed herein can be placed in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and are delivered to a recipient subject (e.g., a human) in accordance with known methods of drug delivery. In general, the methods of delivering the pharmaceutical compositions in vivo utilize art-recognized protocols for delivering the agent with the only substantial procedural modification being the substitution of the compounds of the present invention for the drugs in the art-recognized protocols. Likewise, methods for using the claimed compositions for treating cells in culture, for example, to eliminate or reduce the level of bacterial contamination of a cell culture, utilize art-recognized protocols for treating cell cultures with antibacterial agent(s) with the only substantial procedural modification being the substitution of the compounds of the present invention, preferably in combination with a β-lactam antibiotic for the drugs in the art-recognized protocols.

Exemplary procedures for delivering an antibacterial agent are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,468,967; 6,852,689; and 5,041,567, issued to Rogers and in PCT patent application number EP94/02552 (publication no. WO 95/05384), the disclosures of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety. In one embodiment, one or more compounds of the invention, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof are administered orally, rectally or via injection (intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous). In another embodiment, one or more compounds of the invention, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof are administered orally, rectally or via injection (intravenous, intramuscular or subcutaneous) to treat an infection caused by β-lactam resistant bacteria. In another embodiment, one or more compounds of the invention, preferably a compound of Formula A-I or Formula A-II in conjunction with a β-lactam antibiotic, or pharmaceutical compositions thereof are administered orally to treat an infection caused by β-lactamase producing bacteria.

As used herein, the phrases “therapeutically-effective dose” and “therapeutically-effective amount” refer to an amount of a compound that prevents the onset, alleviates the symptoms, stops the progression of a bacterial infection, or results in another desired biological outcome such as, e.g., improved clinical signs or reduced/elevated levels of lymphocytes and/or antibodies.

The term “treating” or “treatment” is defined as administering, to a subject, a therapeutically-effective amount of one or more compounds both to prevent the occurrence of an infection and to control or eliminate an infection. Those in need of treatment may include individuals already having a particular medical disease as well as those at risk for the disease (i.e., those who are likely to ultimately acquire the disorder).

The term “subject,” as used herein, refers to a mammal, a plant, a lower animal, or a cell culture. In one embodiment, a subject is a human or other animal patient in need of antibacterial treatment.

The term “administering” or “administration” and the like, refers to providing the compound of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) to the subject in need of treatment. Preferably the subject is a mammal, more preferably a human. The present invention comprises administering the compound of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) in conjunction with a β-lactam antiobiotic.

The compounds of the invention (e.g. compounds of Formula I, compounds of Formula A-I, compounds of Formula II, compounds of Formula A-II) can be prepared from intermediate 1, according to the following reaction schemes and examples, or modifications thereof, using readily available starting materials, reagents and conventional synthetic procedures including, for example, procedures described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,112,592 and WO2009/091856.

As depicted in Scheme 1, compound 3 can be synthesized following standard oxadiazole ring formation chemistry from the diacylhydrazide intermediate 2 g (see, e.g., Jakopin, Z.; Dolenc, M. S. Curr. Org. Chem. 2008, 12, 850-898; Walker, D. G.; Brodfuehrer, P. R.; Brundidge, S. P. Shih, K. M.; Sapino, C. Jr. J. Org. Chem. 1988, 53, 983-991 and references cited therein). Diacylhydrazide intermediate 2 g can be prepared via standard amide coupling reactions from acylhydrazide intermediate 2f. Alternatively, 2 g can be made by an amide coupling reaction of acylhydrazine derivative 2 h and acid intermediate 2a, which can be prepared from ester intermediate 1. It may be necessary to protect certain functionalities in the molecule depending on the nature of the R¹ group.

Protecting these functionalities should be within the expertise of one skilled in the art. See, e.g P. G. M. Wuts and T. W. Greene, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, Fourth Edition, John Wiley and Sons, 2006, hereafter Greene.

The benzylic ether protecting group in 3 can be removed via standard hydrogenolysis conditions, such as, but not limited to, Pd/H₂ in MeOH or THF or by acid-catalysed hydrolysis, such as, but not limited to, BCl₃ in DCM to provide the hydroxy-urea intermediate 4, which can be used directly in the next step without further purification. Sulfation of 4 can be achieved by treatment with a sulfating reagent, such a, but not limited to, SO₃.pyridine complex, in an appropriate solvent, such as pyridine, DMF or DMAc at a temperature of 0-80° C., preferable at room temperature. Compound 5 can then be isolated and purified via conventional methods. For example, 5 can be purified by standard reverse phase prep-HPLC using appropriate buffer system, i.e. ammonium formate buffer. In some cases, 5 can be purified by normal phase silica gel chromatography after converting to an appropriate salt form, such as sulfate tetrabutyl ammonium salt. The tetrabutyl ammonium salt can then be converted to a sodium salt by cation exchange. When a protecting group(s) is present in the sidechain (i.e. Boc or Fmoc for amine and guanidine protection, TBS or TES for alcohol protection, etc), a deprotection step is needed to convert 5 to its final product 6, which can be purified by prep-HPLC using the conditions mentioned above. For example, for N-Boc deprotection, 5 can be treated with an acid, such as TFA, in an appropriate solvent, such as DCM at a temperature of 0-30° C., preferable at 0° C. to rt to give 6. For an O-TBS, or O-TES deprotection, a fluoride reagent such as HF.pyridine, HF.NEt₃, or TBAF can be used. For Fmoc deprotection, amines can be used, such as diethylamine, DBU, piperidine, etc can be used.

Similarly, as shown in Scheme 2, thiadiazole derivative 3a can be synthesized from diacylhydrazide intermediate 2 g by treatment with Lawesson's reagent under heating. 3a can then be converted to the final product 6a using similar chemistry as described previously.

Example 99 Construction of Isogenic β-Lactamase Strains

A set of β-lactamase expressing isogenic E. coli strains was constructed by cloning a β-lactamase gene into a customized derivative of pBR322 (GenBank Accession Number J01749) and transforming the engineered plasmids into E. coli. The NdeI restriction site within the plasmid backbone of pBR322 was removed to generate pBR322 ΔNdeI. The pBR322ΔNdeI vector itself, minus the biaTEM-1 gene, was amplified using two primers: (1) pBR-Pbla 5′-cgcatatgactcttcctttttcaatattattg-3, SEQ ID 1, a primer with an engineered NdeI restriction site at the 3′ end of the b/aTEM-1 promoter and (2) pBR-vec-1 5′-gcggatccctgtcagaccaagtttactc-3′, SEQ ID 2, a primer with an engineered BamHI restriction site at the 3′ end of the biaTEM-1 open reading frame. The chloramphenicol resistance gene, cat, was generated by PCR amplification from pKD3 (GenBank Accession Number AY048742) using primers with an engineered NdeI restriction site at the 5′ end (Pbla-cat 5′-gccatatgatggagaaaaaaatcactgg-3′, SEQ ID 3) and an engineered BamHI restriction site at the 3′ end (Vec-1-cat 5′-cgggatccctagagaataggaacttcgg-3′, SEQ ID 4)of the resistance gene. The two PCR products, pBR322ΔNdeI and cat were ligated together generating pBR-CBST (pBR322ΔNdeI ΔTEM-1::cat Seq. ID 5) which retains both the pBR322 tetracycline resistance cassette, tetA, and the plasmid origin of replication but the biaTEM-1 gene was replaced by the cat gene.

Using this engineering strategy a number of plasmids producing β-lactamase genes from different classes (see below) were generated using synthetic genes with an engineered NdeI restriction site at the 5′ end and BamHI restriction site at the 3′ end of each gene (GenScript). Both the synthetic β-lactamase genes and cat gene were ligated into the NdeI/BamHI sites of the pBR322ΔNdeI PCR product and transformed into electrocompetent E. coli ElectroMax DH10B (Invitrogen/Life Technologies). E. coli DH10B harboring the recombinant plasmids were selected on LB agar (supplemented with 25 μg/mL tetracycline) and single isolated colonies were then inoculated into 5 mL

LB media (supplemented with 25 μg/mL tetracycline), and incubated at 37° C. with aeration (250 rpm) for 18 hrs. The cultures were frozen back at −80° C. in 20% glycerol. The DNA sequence of the cloned β-lactamase genes was confirmed. The β-lactamase gene expression in the recombinant E. coli strains was driven by the b/aTEM-1 promoter in the pBR-CBST plasmid and was characterized by MIC profiling of the E. coli recombinant strains against comparator β-lactam/BLI combinations in broth microdilution assay.

Example 100 Standard BLI Potentiation MIC Assay

The ability of compounds to potentiate the activity of β-lactams was demonstrated by determining the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of β-lactam and BLI compound combinations against various β-lactamase producing bacterial strains using the broth microdilution method. The experimental protocol was performed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines with modifications as described below (CLSI guidelines can be derived from the CLSI document M07-A9 published in January 2012: “Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard-Ninth Edition”).

To prepare for MIC testing, frozen glycerol stocks of clinical isolates (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Eschericia coli, Enterobacter spp, Citrobacter spp, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were used to streak for isolated colonies on rich, non-selective, tryptic soy agar containing 5% sheep's blood (TSAB). Frozen glycerol stocks of laboratory engineered, isogenic E. coli strains, which contain cloned β-lactamase expressing plasmids were used to streak for isolated colonies on rich, selective LB agar supplemented with 25 μg/mL tetracycline to maintain the plasmid. All strains were incubated at 37° C. for 18-24 hrs.

On the day of testing, primary cultures were started by scraping off 5-10 colonies from the TSAB plates containing clinical strains or the tetracycline supplemented LB plates containing engineered strains. The clinical strain material was suspended in ˜5 mL of cation adjusted Mueller Hinton Broth (CAMHB) in 14 mL culture tubes. The engineered strain material was suspended in CAMHB (supplemented with 25 μg/mL tetracycline) in 14 mL culture tubes. All strains were incubated at 37° C. with aeration (200 rpm) for ˜2 hrs until the optical density at 600 nm (OD₆₀₀) was >0.1.

The two compound components of the assay were each diluted in CAMHB and added to the 96-well broth microdilution assay plates. 50 μL of the β-lactam was added to each well of the assay plate in 2-fold dilutions with final concentrations ranging from 128 to 0.13 μg/mL. 25 μL of the BLI compound was added to all wells in the broth microdilution plates at a final concentration of 4 μg/mL. Inoculum cultures were prepared by standardizing the primary cultures to OD600=0.1 and then adding 20 μL of the adjusted primary culture per 1 mL CAMHB for clinical strains or CAMHB (supplemented with tetracycline at 100 μg/mL) for engineered strains, so that the final inoculum density was ˜10⁵ colony forming units per milliliter. Diluted inoculum cultures were used to inoculate 25 μl, per well in 96-well broth microdilution assay plates. The final volume of each well was 100 μL and contained a β-lactam at different concentrations, a BLlcompound at 4 μg/mL concentration, the bacterial culture at an OD600 of approximately 0.001 and when necessary tetracycline at 25 μg/mL.

Plates were incubated for 18-20 hours at 37° C. with aeration (200 rpm). Following incubation, growth was confirmed visually placing plates over a viewing apparatus (stand with a mirror underneath) and then OD600 was measured using a SpectraMax 340PC384 plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Growth was defined as turbidity that could be detected with the naked eye or achieving minimum OD600 of 0.1. MIC values were defined as the lowest concentration producing no visible turbidity.

MIC values of representative compounds are shown in Table II.

Example 101 Synergy MIC (sMIC) Assay

The synergy MIC (sMIC) assay determines the concentration of the BLI required to potentiate the activity of a fixed concentration of a β-lactam antibiotic against β-lactamase producing bacterial strains. The experimental protocol was performed according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guidelines with modifications as described below (CLSI guidelines can be derived from the CLSI document M07-A9 published in January 2012: “Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically; Approved Standard-Ninth Edition”). The assay is set-up by serially diluting the BLI across 11 of the 12 wells in each row of a 96-well broth microdilution assay plate, adding the β-lactam at a fixed concentration to all wells in the assay plate, inoculating the assay plate with bacterial strains, and determining the lowest concentration of BLI required to inhibit overnight bacterial growth. Bacterial growth in the 12^(th) well of the assay plate, which contains the β-lactam at a fixed concentration but does not contain any BLI, demonstrates that the bacterial strains are resistant to the β-lactam antibiotic (e.g ceftolozane) at the fixed concentration of 4 μg/mL.

To prepare for MIC testing, frozen glycerol stocks of clinical isolates (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Eschericia coli, Enterobacter spp, Citrobacter spp, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa) were used to streak for isolated colonies on rich, non-selective, tryptic soy agar containing 5% sheep's blood (TSAB). Frozen glycerol stocks of laboratory engineered, isogenic E. coli strains, which contain cloned β-lactamase expressing plasmids were used to streak for isolated colonies on rich, selective LB agar supplemented with 25 μg/mL tetracycline to maintain the plasmid. All strains were incubated at 37° C. for 18-24 hrs.

On the day of testing, primary cultures were started by scraping off 5-10 colonies from the TSAB plates containing clinical strains or the tetracycline supplemented LB plates containing engineered strains. The clinical strain material was suspended in ˜5 mL of cation adjusted Mueller Hinton Broth (CAMHB) in 14 mL culture tubes. The engineered strain material was suspended in CAMHB (supplemented with tetracycline at 25 μg/mL) in 14 mL culture tubes. All strains were incubated at 37° C. with aeration (200 rpm) for ˜2 hrs until the OD600 was ≧0.1.

The two compound components of the assay were each prepared in CAMHB and added to the 96-well broth microdilution assay plates. 50 μL of the BLI was added to each well of the assay plate in 2-fold dilutions with final concentrations ranging from 128 to 0.13 μg/mL. 25 μL of the β-lactam was added to all wells in the broth microdilution plates at a final concentration of 4 μg/mL. Inoculum cultures were prepared by standardizing the primary cultures to OD600=0.1 and then adding 20 μl, of the adjusted primary culture per 1 mL CAMHB for clinical strains or CAMHB (supplemented with tetracycline at 100 μg/mL) for isogenic strains, so that the final inoculum density was ˜10⁵ colony forming units per milliliter. Diluted inoculum cultures were used to inoculate 25 μL per well in 96-well broth microdilution assay plates. The final volume of each well was 100 μL and contained a BLI at different concentrations, a β-lactam at 4 μg/mL concentration, the bacterial culture at an OD600 of approximately 0.001 and when necessary tetracycline at 25 ug/mL.

Interpreting the sMIC Data:

Plates were incubated for 18-20 hours at 37° C. with aeration (200 rpm). Following incubation, growth was confirmed visually placing plates over a viewing apparatus (stand with a mirror underneath) and then OD600 was measured using a SpectraMax 340PC384 plate reader (Molecular Devices, Sunnyvale, Calif.). Growth was defined as turbidity that could be detected with the naked eye or achieving minimum OD600 of 0.1. sMIC values were defined as the lowest concentration producing no visible turbidity.

The sMIC values represent the amount of BLI required to potentiate the activity of 4 μg/ml of CXA-101 (Ceftolozane) or ceftazidime to inhibit the growth of the β-lactamase producing bacteria.

sMIC values of representative compounds are shown in Table III.

Example 102 Inhibition Kinetics

Inhibition or inactivation of KPC-2 by test inhibitors was assessed using 100 μM nitrocefin (NCF) as a reporter substrate. Assays were performed in 1×PBS pH 7.4, 0.1 mg/ml BSA, in 96-well half area plates, 50 μl reaction volume. NCF was dissolved in DMSO and diluted in assay buffer. Test inhibitors were dissolved in water or DMSO and serially diluted in the assay with final concentrations between 2000-0.195 The enzyme activity in the presence of varying concentrations of test inhibitor was determined by monitoring the hydrolysis of NCF spectrophotometrically at 486 nm, for 5 minutes, 25° C., using a SpectraMax Plus384 microplate reader with SoftMax Pro software (Molecular Devices). Data analysis was performed using GraphPad Prism (GraphPad Software, Inc.).

Progress curves were fit to a first-order rate decay equation (Eq. 1) to determine k_(observed) (k_(obs)). k_(obs) vs. inhibitor concentration [I] curves were then fit to Eq.2 to determine the inhibitor dissociation constant (K) and the first order rate constant of enzyme inactivation at infinite inhibitor concentration (k_(inact)). Table IV shows kinetics results from representative test compounds. A larger k_(mact)/K ratio indicates a more effective enzyme inactivator.

Y _(t) =V ₀*(1−e ^((−k) ^(obs) ^(*t)))/k _(obs)  Eq. 1

Where Y is the absorbance at time t, V_(o) is the uninhibited enzyme velocity, k_(obs) is the observed rate constant of the enzyme inactivation.

k _(obs) =k _(inact) *[I]/([I]+K(1+S/K _(m)))  Eq. 2

Where S is the NCF concentration, K_(m) is the KPC-2 K_(m) for NCF.
